to get the space without finding 4.5GB of images:
find any jpg image (file.jpg)
create a large file (5GB):
fsutil file createnew test.rar 5368709120
combine the 2 files:
copy /b file.jpg + test.rar bigfile.jpg
format thumbstick
create "DCIM" folder on thumbstick
put bigfile.jpg in thumbstick
remove thumbstick and reinsert
use the autorun dialog to select to upload to dropbox
wait
- dy 15y agoYou can use mkfile 5g testfile.jpg on OSX.

- ljf 15y agoTrue if you want to game the system - if you actually want to help them test out there service just upload 5gig of photos and video - I'm sure most people have that?
- mandreko 15y agoFor me, I already have all my gigs of photos in DropBox, so I had to come up with a way outside of uploading all those images again. I unlocked the first 2GB or so with legit iphone images, but to get the rest of the space, used this method.
- ouchiboy 15y agoDoes Dropbox compress files? I did this and it only updated the image itself in record time, yet it accounts to 5GB of space in the box.
